Hi all!
I have found an article titled as the subject line.
It chilled me to the core.
Guys, what do you think?

I think this is because they think there is a definitive link between Autism and Fragile X (Fragile X apparently does exist in mice) based on the following study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3254037/
But if you read what it actually says under the section "Diagnostic Treshold: Autistic Features versus ASD in FXS" then the correlation has a huge discrepancy in percentage. But that discrepancy is so wide it would be ridiculous and irresponsible to consider that correlation as a direct and provable cause.
If you hold ctrl and f it will open up a search bar on PC and if you search the word mice it will take you to the section where they mention other studies in mice. So that appears to be why they are making the connection. Not that it's very useful imo because afterall we are not mice. And as you implied, only humans have been diagnosed autistic.
I agree with Luna also.
